Ran first marathon after 18 months of training (minus injury time) at age 52 in Logan, Utah on Sept 18, 2010. Time was 4:16:56 compared to a goal of 4:15. Second marathon was Oct 1, 2011 in the heat of St George. Time fell to 4:52:27.
Short-Term Running Goals: With two marathons behind me, my next goal is to run one in under 4 hours and potentially qualify for Boston within 2 years. Long-Term Running Goals: My primary physical goal is to live a long, healthy life and to stay active to the end. While I can, I expect running to be a big part of that. Personal: Married with 8 children and 5 grandchildren. Youngest child is 13. Favorite Blogs: |

| | 3 miles at near 130bpm and the rest running hard, closer to 9 min/mile. Heart rate got up to 163bpm at the end. Slow miles were really slow at about 13 min/mile. | | Add Comment |
| | Low heart rate all the way, average of 128bpm, maximum 136bpm. Average speed (or rather average slow) was 13:05/minute. Temperature was 10 degrees warmer than yesterday, which made for a very nice run. For some reason, I come back frozen when it is below freezing and refreshed when it is 40 degrees. One good thing about the slow runs is how good I feel after. I don't feel beat up at all. The bad thing is how early I have to get up for a short distance. | | Comments(1) |
| | Short distance, as fast as I could go, which is pretty slow compared to where I want to be. I basically ran a 5K in 29:36. Max heart rate was 169, average, 156, last partial mile at an 8:22 pace. When I was working hard in mile 2, someone came up behind me and effortlessly passed me. After that, I tried to keep up with him and I think that helped to speed me up. I read that there are three elements to conditioning: Endurance, strength, and speed. I've done those in that order for the last three days.

6.4 miles in 1:27:44, average of 13:42 per mile, average heart rate: 128bpm, Maximum was 140 when I crossed 8th North so I wouldn't get run over. The light turned green just before I arrived, but crossing 8 lanes takes a while at 130bpm. Anyway, I opted to not get run over rather than keep my heart rate low.
Thinking works pretty well at low heart rate.
